“The city that gives you free beer for cycling”

 

[Bold Seagull]

I’m in. ����

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I hope they have a decent craft brewery involved. Cycling AND craft beer #superior.

 

[Stat Brother]

They don't even have to have brakes on their bicycles.
Although the sooner that one finds it's way under a car the happier I'll be.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

The way some cyclists wobble about on the road it looks like they’ve had too many beers.

At least we won't get breathalyzed, lose our license, making us housebound for 3 years.

Wait til Cannabis gets legalised! they will be pulling them out of ditches, trees, canals etc everywhere. They will treat the country like it is a massive Parkour game.....

True.
Why are so many cyclists colour blind? When the vast majority of motorists stop for a red light, it seems to make no difference to many cyclists, who sail merrily through, oblivious to danger and acting as if no rules of the road apply to them.

They aren't colour blind. They're c**ts.

Because we don't have too, they only apply to licensed vehicles.


Alternatively your tiny minority of drivers that are 'colour blind' cause hundreds of needless DEATHS on the road EVERY YEAR. That's thousands upon thousands of husband, wives, parents, children that won't ever see a loved one again.
All because someone in a 2 tonne death machine decided they, their phone call, their sat nav, their text message, was more important than someone else's life.
So perhaps instead of whataboutary you turn your attention to that instead of some cyclists putting themselves in harms way, having already assessed the risks involved.

 

[Muzzman]

... and they get called exactly that by me who does cycle and does follow the rules of the road. Although recently this outburst has been reserved for motorists who merrily overtake me by the Lewes Road roadworks as they ignore huge signs not to overtake cyclists.

I take it you never notice the youths on bikes with headphones in and both hands on their iPhone shuffling their play list?

It's the same as any group: there will always be people who give everyone else a bad reputation.

I don't even really think about cyclists until one of them almost mows me down and then all I can think about it how much I hate cyclists when I should be thinking "Well, that one was a c**t but the rest of them are fine"

And another thing!
Where I live, I don't think many cyclists have actually discovered there are such things as lights for bicycles.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Oh FFS...here we go again.

Shut up you lot - its like a ******* broken record on here.

Luxury!

Where I live not many cyclists have discovered that the ROADS are for cycling on...not the bloody pavements.

This is worse than the brexit thread

I wish my conscience allowed me to glibbly ignore the death of hundreds of innocent people every year.

Typical car driver. : thumbsup:

Being serious just for a second, and this is a genuine question but is there not such a thing as being drunk in charge of a bicycle which presumably has some sort of a reprimand?

I bet your fun at parties.

Cheer up you miserable git!
